im on cycle day 30 now, last month my cycle was 33 day, my period are bit irregular.

how do i do the tap test? i only have one more ov test left,just run the remaning test under the tap?
i have been using these tests since about day 10.
so i know not every single test comes up pos as the first week or so it was coming up negative

yes i was thinking of getting a twin pack of digital tests tonight from tescos, shall i get tescos own brand but the digital ones, or shall i get clearblue?

i was thinking put your tap water in a jar and do a dip test?

I wouldn't splash on fancy digi hpts to start with tbh, they are super pricey and not actually that sensitive and seeing as you still not due AF it might be neg just because it is too early. Superdrug own brand or First response early response are the best according to the ladies on here! nothing with blue dye and stay away from clearblue normal tests as people get false positives!

Mine of information this site :)

Hi, been reading avidly. New to this forum. On 4 month of ttc. So many of you really seem to know your stuff!

When is the earliest someone can pregnancy test after ovulation?

Thanks

Hi whiteandyelloworchid

This is taken off an ebay website selling opk's:

"Now the ?average? woman ...will have an LH (the hormone that triggers ovulation) level of between 5-20mIU in her system. When the surge occurs the basal level rises to approximately 50-200mIU and at this level ovulation occurs and the egg is released from the ovary. This means that for most women the 20mIU High ovulation sensitivity tests that we sell are perfect....

We have a lady who is suffering from PCOS and this can sometimes (NOT always) cause the LH level to be consistently at a higher level than "normal". This woman will appear to get a positive result with our 20mIU tests over several days and she is therefore not certain when she is ovulating. In this case we would recommend she purchase the lower sensitivity (30 or even 40mIU) ovulation tests which will better pinpoint the LH surge.

Try the High 20mIU sensitivity ovulation tests and if you find any problems in pinpointing when you are ovulating then try one of the lower sensitivity tests and that should solve the problem :)"

Hope this helps

thanks will it be, might try that next time.

im not always getting a positive all the tie, the first week or so it was negative.
once when i was pg, i asked them to check my ovaries at a scan as i was concerned i may have pcos due to long cycles, but they said they looked fine, plus im not hairy or anything.

bb i think its best to test afetr 14 days really

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can help?
I done opk tests after me period 8th of Feb roughly and they came back positive,me and my partner done the business on the correct days etc then I done another towards the end of the month for 3 consecutive days and came back positive.
Then from the end of the month up until 3 days ago they were coming back negative.
Done a pregnancy test yesterday and thay came back negative.
Then today I thought I would just do another opk test and has come back positive again. Is this normal?? Thanks
